    Abstract Motivation: Large-scale gene expression studies allow gene network construction to uncover associations among genes. To study direct associations among genes, partial correlation-based networks are preferred over marginal correlations. However, FDR control for partial correlation-based network construction is not well-studied. In addition, currently available partial correlation-based methods cannot take existing biological knowledge to help network construction while controlling FDR.
    Results: In this paper, we propose a method called Partial Correlation Graph with Information Incorporation (PCGII). PCGII estimates partial correlations between each pair of genes by regularized node-wise regression that can incorporate prior knowledge while controlling the effects of all other genes. It handles high-dimensional data where the number of genes can be much larger than the sample size and controls FDR at the same time. We compare PCGII with several existing approaches through extensive simulation studies and demonstrate that PCGII has better FDR control and higher power. We apply PCGII to a plant gene expression dataset where it recovers confirmed regulatory relationships and a hub node, as well as several direct associations that shed light on potential functional relationships in the system. We also introduce a method to supplement observed data with a pseudogene to apply PCGII when no prior information is available, which also allows checking FDR control and power for real data analysis.

    Abstract Brassinosteroids (BRs) play pivotal roles in the regulation of many dimensions of a plant's life. Hence, through extensive efforts from many research groups, BR signaling has emerged as one of the best-characterized plant signaling pathways. The key molecular players of BR signaling from the cell surface to the nucleus important for the regulation of plant growth and development are well-established. Recent data show that BRs also modulate plant responses to environmental stresses such as drought and pathogen infection. In this mini review, we present the recent progress in BR signaling specifically in the post-translational SUMO modification of BR's master regulators, BES1/BZR1. We also discuss recent findings on the crosstalk between BR, UV light, and jasmonic acid signaling pathways to balance growth during light stress and pathogen infections. Finally, we describe the current update on the molecular link between BR signaling and intracellular auxin transport that essential for plant development.

    Abstract Autophagy is a conserved recycling process with important functions in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Phytohormones also play key roles in the regulation of some of the same processes. Increasing evidence indicates that a close relationship exists between autophagy and phytohormone signaling pathways, and the mechanisms of interaction between these pathways have begun to be revealed. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of how autophagy regulates hormone signaling and, conversely, how hormones regulate the activity of autophagy, both in plant growth and development and in environmental stress responses. We highlight in particular recent mechanistic insights into the coordination between autophagy and signaling events controlled by the stress hormone abscisic acid and by the growth hormones brassinosteroid and cytokinin and briefly discuss potential connections between autophagy and other phytohormones.

    Abstract Background: More and more new surgical procedures for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) are proposed creatively. However, the existing clinical evidence shows that the effectiveness and safety of various procedures exist inconsistent.
    Methods: The randomized controlled trials comparing the international prostate score, length of hospital stay, maximum urinary flow rate, operation time, and complication rates of prostatic artery embolization (PAE), Greenlight-XPS Laser prostate vaporization procedure (GLL PVP), diode laser enucleation of prostate (DILEP) and plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (PKRP), transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in patients with BPH were screened out in databases. The primary outcome was pooled using a restricted maximum likelihood-based random-effect model and inverse variance-based fixed-effect model. Cochrane Q statistics and I2 statistics were computed to quantify between-study heterogeneity. The risk of bias of each included study was assessed using the revised Cochrane risk of bias tool.
    Results: This meta-analysis ultimately included 14 original research papers, with 1,940 participants enrolled. Eight studies were considered to be at moderate risk of bias, while the others were at mild risk of bias. Although the improvement in functional outcome of the DILEP procedure was equivalent to that of the PKRP procedure, the DILEP procedure group had fewer hospital stays than the PKRP group (P=0.01). In addition, even though the performance of the GLL PVP procedure in the improvement of functional outcome was inferior to the counterpart of TURP (P=0.64), it had a much fewer hospital stays (P=0.01). Moreover, there is still insufficient evidence for the improvement of subjective functional indicators of postoperative patients with PAE compared with TURP [international prostate symptom score (IPSS): P=0.73; IPSS QoL: P=0.91], but achieved less satisfactory objective functional outcomes (Qmax: P=0.06; PVR: P=0.00).
    Discussion: New surgical procedures such as GLL PVP, PAE, and DILEP were safer than traditional TURP procedures. However, it is not superior to traditional surgery in the improvement of clinical symptoms. In clinical practice, the pros and cons of the new operation and the traditional operation should be carefully weighed, and the operation that is most suitable for the patient's condition should be selected.

    Abstract Post-translational modifications play important roles in controlling protein function and can lead to altered protein stability. Protein stability can be determined after treatment with the protein synthesis inhibitor Cycloheximide. Cycloheximide is a translational inhibitor that inhibits protein synthesis via cytoplasmic ribosomes. Here we describe how to measure the stability of MYC2 in the context of regulation by FERONIA receptor kinase. First, we describe how to measure MYC2 stability in wild-type and

    Abstract Background: Breast cancer (BC) is one of the malignant diseases threatening the life and health of women worldwide. The CYP4B1 gene was abnormally expressed in BC and was associated with the prognosis of BC patients. This study aimed to explore the relationship between CYP4B1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and BC risk in Chinese women.
    Methods: A case-control study of 1,143 women (571 patients and 572 healthy individuals) was conducted. Rs2297813 G/T, rs12142787 G/A, and rs3766197 C/T in CYP4B1 were selected and genotyped by MassARRAY system. The relationships between these SNPs and the risk of BC were assessed by logistic regression analysis. In addition, multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) was used to analyze SNP-SNP interactions.
    Results: CYP4B1 rs2297813 had a risk-increasing effect on BC in women with body mass index (BMI) ≤ 24 kg/m
    Conclusion: CYP4B1 SNPs were associated with BC risk in Chinese women, especially in patients with BMI ≤ 24 kg/m

    Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool for gene function analysis, particularly for outcrossing polyploid species where simultaneous mutations of multiple alleles of a gene with similar but nonidentical sequences may not be readily achieved with the novel clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9 gene editing tools. The most effective RNAi strategy in plants is to use long hairpin RNAi (lhRNAi) constructs containing inverted repeats (IRs) of target genes. Previously, we used a Phi29‐Amplified RNAi Construct method to create a single lhRNAi construct that was shown to be highly effective in gene silencing in the model grass Brachypodium distachyon (L.) P.Beauv. Here, we describe a method of creating a library of lhRNAi constructs ready for high‐throughput gene function analysis in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.), an important turfgrass species. A cDNA population in which salt‐responsive genes were enriched by suppression subtractive hybridization was used as the source of IRs. Sequencing of 13 randomly selected colonies from the lhRNAi library showed that the size of IRs varied from 184 to 994 bp, which is appropriate for RNAi, and nine of the IRs were shown to be homologous to known genes in closely related grasses. In addition to the demonstration of the proof‐of‐concept of creating an expression‐ready library, the salt stress‐specific lhRNAi library represents a valuable resource for studying the functions of salt‐responsive genes in creeping bentgrass. The method described here is broadly applicable to all plant species where an efficient plant transformation platform is available.
